Hi,

Hi,

I created a custom contact form plug-in, it also uses the WP-Mail-SMTP plugin for smtp email sending. It is working on my local development environment, but not on my live environment. When i use the WP-Mail-SMTP plugin to send a test email, that works fine.

I now understand the problem after speaking with DigitalOcean Support team. It seems that live.smtp has blocked digitalocean IP's. So this is why it was not working. I will now have to use a 3rd party app and make use of there free service e.g. https://mandrill.com/

Thanks for pointing out Mandrill. I have a few clients who send Newsletters. Running up against SMTP sending limits is always a pain. Looks like Mandrill has free up to 12000 a month, with reasonable prices after that.
